Appalachian Trail 2018

Week 1 is in the books

Well this past week has been a roller coaster! Sorry that I haven’t updated this as often as I should! It’s been an amazing week with some awesome views but also some very wet days! For three days after dad left I walked with a pair of brothers, Gandalf and Mush, and their dog, Zara. They were amazing guys and it was such fun getting to camp with them for 3 days. After that was Tuesday which was a total wash, it rained so hard and because of that I decided to only walk about 6 miles to the Top of Ga Hostel. From there I went into Hiawassee and ate a huge meal at a Mexican restaurant and then resupplied some of my food at the Ingles in town. The rest of the week has been hard but fun!

More about that soon!!

I’ve been walking with a group of guys and they have been great. It’s definitely been fun meeting all different types of people from different backgrounds and different views on life. The coolest thing though is how all of these different people are on the same journey. The trail makes us a family and I love that. I’ve learned a lot over the past week and a half and I can’t imagine how much more I’ll learn and experience as I keep going.
